The following discography is a work in progress. Currently it contains all known published recordings by Enrico Caruso. The recordings are listed chronologically by recording date, title, composer and matrix number. When more than one "take" was recorded for a selection, only the published take number appears after the matrix number; occasionally, multiple takes of the same selection have been issued. If only one take was recorded, no take number is listed after the matrix number. Matrix numbers should not be confused with catalog numbers.
